[users] dkms-kqemu "installs" /dev/kqemu with wrong permissions?

I'm not sure if this is really an rpmforge issue, because it's not
exactly part of the rpm installation process.

On CentOS5, /etc/udev/rules.d/60-kqemu.rules says:

KERNEL=="kqemu", NAME="%k", MODE="0666"

However, after "modprobe kqemu" which causes the device to spring into
existence:

crw-------  1 root root 10, 62 Jan 12 12:46 /dev/kqemu

The instructions for installing /dev/kqemu on RHEL3 (pre-udev)
explicitly say to create /dev/kqemu with mode 666.  Why does udev
apparently ignore the mode setting?
